A USB C cable is like $5 and one with a built in dac is $20
- adastra22 3y agoAnd one capable of safely charging your computer is $50. Yet they all look exactly the same.
- ponector 3y agoMandatory USB-C charger is awesome. With one power adapter I can charge everything! Laptop, phone, power bank, Bluetooth speaker, ever car seat for my child (yes, car seat nowadays have a battery). I hope everything will be with USB-C, all home appliances as well.

- ponector 3y agoDoes your kettle have a separate charger? What connector is there? USB kettle is not a joke you can find plenty on Amazon. But I'm thinking about cordless appliances: shaver, toothbrush, vacuum cleaner, etc.
- jemmyw 3y agoMy kettle is a boiler wired under the sink. But a normal 2400w kettle in countries with 240v outlets plugs into the wall. It's not really the kind of appliance you want battery operated either. My toothbrush is already USB charged. I think for those small / battery charged applications you mentioned we'll get there pretty soon.
